Maintenance Features

The manual emphasizes several safety precautions and maintenance tips:

General Safety: Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture, extreme heat or cold, dust, or humidity. Do not block ventilation openings.
Power Cord: Always grip the plug when connecting or disconnecting the AC power cord. Disconnect the power cord if the unit will not be used for a long period. Ensure the grounding pin on the AC cord is securely connected. Do not damage the power cord, place heavy objects on it, or twist it excessively.
Cleaning: Clean the unit only with a dry cloth.
Battery Replacement: When remote control batteries become weak, replace them with 2 "AAA" batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries (ALKALINE, CARBON-ZINC, NICKEL-CADMIUM). Remove batteries if the remote will not be used for a long time to prevent leakage. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Wall Mount Installation: If wall-mounting, remove the base stand first. Use a VESA-compliant 16"x8" (400x200mm) mounting kit with screws not exceeding 10mm in length. Protect the LED display from hard or sharp objects and avoid exerting pressure on the front screen.
Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a troubleshooting section for common issues like bad picture quality, no sound, black and white picture, no picture or sound, colored patches, unresponsive panel function keys, hot display panel, unusual dots, and stripes on the screen, along with suggested remedies. For example, if there's no picture or sound, check power, input source, antenna connection, volume, and cables. For electrostatic malfunctions, unplug and re-plug the AC power cord.
